It's been a long week...

With the time change, every day has been a struggle to get out of bed. I hardly fix my hair. Doing my homework consists of staring at my list of things to do. My diet is 85% sugary stuffs. Needless to say, I've been feeling a bit pathetic.

But, the week is coming to an end and that means a new week with a new start. Some goals I have:

1. Get up when my alarm goes off, not 30 minutes (or an hour) later.
2. Work out (walking up the stairs in the Clarke does not count).
3. Make some headway on getting an internship as in have interviews!
4. Don't go out to eat and instead, eat things like fruits and veggies.
5. Stop complaining because life really is great right now.

And finally, the BIG goal. Not just for this week, but until school gets out (and maybe even longer)...

No more sweets! No more cupcakes from the Cocoa Bean. No more five chocolate chip cookies in less than 15 minutes (no matter how healthy my friend says they are). No more pie, cake, or ice cream. No more sweets! I need to be a rhino and charge at my goals!

We can have mid-March resolutions, right?

Isn't it perfect?

Remember when I was on that rhino kick? Well, it's been a while and I've been more like a lazy, grazing cow than a charging rhinoceros. This little guy reminded me to BE A RHINO!

I need an internship this summer (preferably in New York) and getting the guts to call design firms (specifically this one) has been, well, hard. This week will be different. I will be a rhino! I'm going to be brave and call and show people how awesome I am and make them want to hire me!

And I have my inspiration to charge at what I want: a wooden toy rhino (well, I don't actually own it, but I'm very tempted to purchase it...my birthday is coming at the end of this week).

What's your inspiration to do something that's not very easy for you? A little wooden toy? A quote? A person?

I am a rhinoceros.

After reading Rhinoceros Success, my life has changed. I am a rhinoceros. I am big (6,000 pounds or so). I have two-inch thick skin. I have not one, but two massive horns. Watch out lazy cows and scared sheep--I know what I want and I'm charging at it!!!
